Fishing Port

But you can't buy fish here at the wharf. It has to be transported to another company who then markets and sells.
Our local wharf beside a swimming beach called, Friendly Bay. And it is.
Thankful for:
Hearing from our Canadian son who talks about huge taxes in Canada then our Japanese son who is on Golden Week at the moment. But not able to camp on the beach as normal. The Japanese seem to obey instructions so well.

Such strange times. That wharf looks beautiful, What a shame you can't buy the fish there!!!

[Maggiemae]

@janemartin Its been like this for years! The only place we get 'fresh fish' is in the supermarkets!

[Jane Martin]

Wow! I can't believe that! I wanted to say, I'd be gutted! Then realised the pun!

[Maggiemae]

@janemartin Funny how the right words fit the picture. Obviously it is different in your area!

[Denise Wood]

Great place :)

[Lou Ann]

A lovely photo, what a beautiful place. When we lived on the Texas Coast we would meet the shrimpers when they came in. There’s nothing better than fresh shrimp and fish caught that morning and cooked for lunch.

[Valerie Chesney]

Wow...such a colourful place ...love those boats....

[Babs]

What a quaint looking wharf. Same here the fish caught in Port Stephens goes straight to Sydney and comes back here to our supermarkets and fish shops.

Could so easily be a Scottish harbour.
Some of the Scottish boats usually send their catch of shellfish to Spain etc but are now able to sell to local people at the harbour a couple of times a week. Other boats seem to be tied up at the moment. Our Saturday fish van is starting again in the town square on Saturday morning so that is good,

Nice capture of the harbour.

Lovely view maggie, I particularly like the struts of the pier. Our grandson in Japan has been given £750 by the Japanese government...apparently all citizens of Japan received a payment..he didn’t think he would qualify but it turned up in his bank.
@sarah19 fish vans & fish seem to be today’s topic on 365!

Lovely shot of the wharf.

[Diana]

Such a fabulous shot of this wonderful scene, my kind of place. Always great to chat to the children far away living a total different lifestyle.

[haskar]

Great shot and edit.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A wonderful shot of the harbour

[gloria jones]

Terrific shot, composition

[Maggiemae]

@happypat That's very interesting, Pat. Johnny didn't mention that when we talked.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I like the colors here- very "beachy"! I guess they don't want to mix swimming and selling fish if the beach is nearby. At any rate- this is a well-composed picture and very nice to look at!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn As they are all over 48years old, we don't think of them as children, Katy but in our hearts they are still children. The son in Japan is immune compromised having taken steroids for polymyalgia for nearly 10 years. He is well though a bit of a worry!

[katy]

@maggiemae I know what you mean. Of course you worry because, althought they stop being children, you never stop being a mother.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Exactly - now I know how good my own mother was- I was a bit of a rebel and at the age of 24 took off on an American adventure on my own!

[Myrna O'Hara]

nice

[ChristineL]

Lovely scene. It's strange that fish can't be bought locally any more but it's the same everywhere I think.

[Maggiemae]

@inthecloud5 I suppose the good thing is that its all filleted for us!

[ChristineL]

@maggiemae that's definitely a good thing!

[Phil Howcroft]

it is a crystal clear shot, looks like a painting , faved

[Marnie]

I think it's much the same here, which is a real bummer. Silly isn't it?

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic I suppose that is why we have so many keen fishermen around!

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Could well be. Same here, very popular hobby.
